Li Yan and Bruiser stood by the lake, and Li Na stood beside them, chanting a spell. Soon, a transparent blue barrier appeared around them, and a wave emerged from the lake. Just as Li Yan was stunned, the wave swept the three of them into the lake.
However, Li Yan realized that the three of them were standing in a transparent blue ball, and the lake water was like a fountain that kept carrying the transparent ball forward.
This was Li Yan's second time witnessing the wonders of magic. The first time, Li Na had only used a simple Illumination Spell and a simple Water Ball Spell. Even so, it was already amazing for Li Yan, who had seen magic for the first time. This time, it was even more amazing. They were actually walking on the waves, and one person was leading two people.
Compared to Li Yan, who was considered half an outsider, Bruiser's performance was much more impressive. He had long known the wonders of magic, not to mention that Li Na was a level-8 Water Magician. Fighting with such a Magician in the water was everyone's nightmare, because that was their home ground.
Li Na also looked relaxed. She was very confident in her abilities. On the surface of the water, she believed that she was invincible. Therefore, when she said that there might be water-type magical beasts in the water, she did not look worried at all. This was because she believed that even if there were water-type magical beasts, she could easily kill them.
It took them more than three hours to get here, but it only took them about half an hour to see the cave entrance in front of them. Fortunately, the cave entrance was the one behind the castle, which proved that the lake could be used as a waterway to transport people to the canyon secretly.
When Li Na removed the spell and Li Yan finally landed on solid ground, he could not help but jump. This feeling of being on solid ground was really good.
While walking on the surface of the water, although he looked very carefree, Li Yan always had a feeling that he was about to fall. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
When the three of them came out of the cave, they saw the slaves working outside. It was not noon yet, so they had not rested yet. There were many places to clean in the cave, and many slaves were doing carpentry in the cave.
If this cave was to be changed into a place to raise blue-eyed rabbits, a lot of fences would be needed. These things would have to be made of wood. After all, Li Yan and the others did not have that many ironware now.
This time, after considering the situation in the castle, Zhao Lin and the others also bought some wood. However, it wasn't a lot. The things that Zhao Lin and the others bought were mostly finished products because Zhao Lin knew that even if there were some slaves who knew carpentry, they wouldn't be able to make things that were too complicated. Because good craftsmen slaves weren't worth the same price as these ordinary slaves.
The appearance of the three people shocked the slaves. They immediately bowed to the three of them. The three of them only nodded and left the cave.
Zhao Xuan and Gou Dan were standing outside the cave. When they saw the three of them, they were shocked. Zhao Xuan quickly went up to them and said,"Young Master, Grandma, why did you come out of the cave?”
Li Na smiled and said," If you walk straight into the lake in the cave, you will reach a canyon. That is the most suitable place for farming that we have chosen. Young Master has just improved ten acres of land there, so we came back.”
"Really?" Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up. That's great. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Grandma, Young Master, go back to the castle and rest. I'll take care of this place.”
"Young Master, go back to the castle and rest. I have something to tell you." Li Na turned to Li Yan.”
Li Yan was stunned. He didn't know what else Li Na had to say, but when he saw Li Na's solemn expression, he didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately nodded and said,"Alright, let's go back to the castle first. Bruiser, stay here and help Zhao Xuan and Goudan.”Bruiser nodded and stayed. Li Yan and Li Na walked into the castle.
After the two of them arrived at the living room of the castle, Li Yan looked at Li Na in confusion and said,"Grandma Li Na, why can't we talk about it outside?”
Li Na nodded and said to Li Yan,"Young Master, when I came back today, I checked the situation in the lake, but I didn't find any powerful water-type magical beast. There are only two explanations for this situation. One, that water-type magical beast is very powerful and is very good at hiding its tracks, so I couldn't find it. However, this situation is almost impossible. I'm a grade-8 water-type mage, and I'm confident that nothing in the water can escape my detection. There were no powerful magic beasts in the water, and there were no fish in the water for another reason.”
Li Yan was stunned, but he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. The lake in the mountains was one of the important plans for the development of his fief in the future. If there was really no way to raise fish there, he would lose an important source of funds. Moreover, it was a waste to leave such a large area of lake water unused.
"Can you find out the specific reason?" Li Yan asked with a dark face.”
Li Na also said with a heavy expression,"I've heard a rumor. I don't know if it's related to the situation in the lake. It's said that because the Yellow Plateau is too close to the Cloud-Dream Swamp, there will often be an alliance of Undead creatures and poisonous Magical Beasts that come to the Yellow Plateau. They will kill all the living creatures on the Yellow Plateau, so the Yellow Plateau has become a dead land. Therefore, this news had never been confirmed. If this news was true, then this might be the reason why there were no fish in the lake.”
Li Yan's expression changed. If it was really as Li Na said, then this matter would be very troublesome. Among them, except for Li Na, Zhao Xuan, Zhao Lin, Bruiser, and Gou Dan, who had some combat power, the others were all slaves without combat power. If the dead spirit creatures and poisonous magical beasts in the Cloud Dream Swamp really attacked them, then they would be dead for sure.
Li Yan lowered his head and kept rubbing his forehead with his hands. This was also a habit of his when he was thinking about things in his previous life.
Li Na looked at Li Yan and was also very worried. If that really happened, all their farming businesses would have to stop. It was very difficult to say if they could survive.
Li Yan couldn't think of any good ideas now, so he could only say,""If this matter is true, then we will be in big trouble. Grandma Li Na, let's wait for Grandpa Zhao Lin to return before we discuss it and decide. How about this? From tomorrow onwards, don't go clean the mine for now. Gather all the resources in our hands and forge some simple weapons. Then, train those slaves and carry out some repairs to the castle. We can at least rely on the castle to resist for a while. If it really doesn't work, I can only put everyone into my space and let everyone hide in there. After those undead creatures and magical beasts retreat, we will come out.”
Li Na frowned and thought for a while, but she really couldn't think of a good idea. She could only nod and say,"It seems that this is the only way now. We have been in the Yellow Plateau for so long, but we haven't seen any strange movements in the Cloud Dream Swamp. There shouldn't be any problems.”
Li Yan shook his head." Regardless of whether it's unnecessary worry or not, we have to do this. It's better to take preventive measures. Now, the last of our family's assets are here. If we lose everything, then our family will have no hope of making a comeback.”
Li Na nodded and said," Alright, I'll make the arrangements immediately. However, we didn't bring many weapons this time. Moreover, most of the supplies were just daily necessities. They can't be made into weapons at all. What should we do?”
Li Yan didn't have any good ideas now. If his farm level was high enough, he could plant some trees to use as weapons. However, his level was too low now, so he couldn't plant trees at all. He couldn't let people fight those Undead creatures with a cornstalk, right?
Li Yan rubbed his forehead hard. His forehead had already turned red, but he still could not think of a good solution. Suddenly, he noticed the stone floor and a bold idea appeared in his mind. He looked up at Li Na and said,"Grandma Li Na, how about this? Tomorrow, we'll organize people to pick some stones and bring them back. We can make some stone weapons. Although these weapons don't have much lethality, we only want to use them to defend the city.”
Li Na thought for a moment and nodded."Alright, right now we don't have that many resources in our hands. When we came out from the Imperial Capital, they basically didn't let us bring any weapons. Right now we can only do this. After Zhao Lin returns, let him go and purchase a batch of weapons as soon as possible.”
Li Yan nodded impatiently. He never thought that he would one day return to the life of the Stone Age, and they had no choice but to face it.
Li Yan finally understood. It seemed that those old men in the Imperial Capital really did not want to give them any way out. Otherwise, they would not have come to a place like the Yellow Soil Plateau without allowing them to bring weapons. He did not believe that those old men in the Imperial Capital had not heard of the rumors of the Yellow Soil Plateau.
Now, not only were they going to starve to death, but they were also going to be killed by the undead creatures and poisonous magical beasts.
